Oleating (snehana) nasya and head-purging (shirovirechana) nasya. Pratimarsha, a kind of oleating nasya, is given on rising, on going out, after cleaning the teeth, after day sleep, after walking, after passing urine, after vomiting, after meals and in the evening.
Detailed answer
For oleating (marsha) nasya eight drops of lukewarm oil go into each nostril, sixteen drops being the first dose, the second double and the third double again. The head-purging liquid is given four drops in each nostril as the lightest dose, doubled for the middle and again for the best dose. The measure of pratimarsha is as much fat as, put into the nose, reaches the mouth. A footnote names avapidana (juice) and pradhamana (blown powder) as kinds of purging nasya.
